Also, not to make to case for this particular artist but for those of us who are saying to ourselves, "Heck, I could knock that out on a lathe, no problem...", the design of those stools I'll bet is a lot more challenging to execute if you don't have the robot. Because of the feet. The main body profile? Sure, no problem. Three offset, symmetrical feet though...

I think the feet could be very easy made with a duplicarver. If I were making them I would first turn the body on the lathe. Then turn one foot on the lathe from a separate piece. Then use a duplicarver to make two more legs. Then attach the legs with glue. The first stool with the legs glued on would be used as a pattern to make the next one out of a single piece of wood using a lathe and duplicarver.
